Notorious, scandalous, Wilde!

Drama

London, England, November 5th, 1892, Guy Fawkes Night. The famous playwright Oscar Wilde and his lover Lord Alfred Douglas discreetly go to a luxury brothel where the owner, Alfred Taylor, has prepared a surprise for the renowned author: a private and very special performance of his play Salome, banned by the authorities, in which Taylor himself and the peculiar inhabitants of the exclusive establishment will participate.

VIBE

A decadent, theatrical dive into Wildean wit and repressed desires. This feels like a whispered secret shared in a smoky, opulent room, where art and vice blur under gaslight.
